It is essential to impose strict control in the pharmaceutical industry in the country. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko gave a corresponding instruction during the visit to the pharmaceutical enterprise Minskintercaps on 26 January, BelTA informs.

“An absolutely transparent and controllable monopolized system regulating the manufacture and sale of Belarusian and imported medical products should be formed in H1 2018,” the president instructed corresponding civil servants.

According to Alexander Lukashenko, the system in this industry should be similar to the one regulating the sale and import of alcohol and tobacco products. “I do not say that you will set prices or anything else, but you will take absolutely all processes concerning the manufacture, domestic sale and import of drugs under control. It is very important,” the Belarusian leader stressed.

The president added that, perhaps, even tougher control is needed in the pharmaceutical industry than in the sale of alcohol and tobacco products. “I will see what scheme you will submit to me in H1. This matter is very serious,” Alexander Lukashenko concluded.
